This is by no means a complete list. It's a good start though! There were many options offered over the years. Some of these codes were different for various years, and changed over the years too. I will be adding to this list as I get more info.

I make no claims that they are 100% accurate in every way.

The "bodystyle" was the same from 73-87 (88-91) as fastr68 mentioned. Yes, the front ends changed around...but so has every other vehicle that has been made for more than 1 year. Camaro's (all 4 generations), Firebirds (all four generations), Mustangs, Cuda's, Challengers, etc...all ran numerous years, while changing slightly every year...but they are still considered the same "bodystyle". :) :)
